4) Lightroom Mastery Courses

Post-processing is pretty much an inseparatable part of photography life.

To do that, most professionals useAdobe Lightroomas the software tool for image post-processing.

So…

What is Lightroom Mastery about?

It’s exactly what the title says.

Mastering Lightroom application, using tips and tools to bring your photos to life and save you lots of time.

Just like all the other instructors at digital photography school, Mike Newton is an excellent teacher and knows what he’s talking about.

Even professional photographers highly praise Mike’s courses:

“As a professional photographer, I would personally recommend this course to anyone and everyone interested in photography; from the most inexperienced novice to the published pro. I would consider this course as important to a photographer as having a digital camera.” (Bradley Schweit)

Courses Online vs. “Real” Photography School

Check out the video below on the pros and cons of going to photography school.

Honestly, personally I do everything online.

Most people I know say that they learned a lot more from photography classes online, than actual colleges they went to.

The problem is that having a college degree doesn’t guarantee that you’ll secure your dream job.

(And you’ll pay a lot more too).

At the end of the day, if you find the right courses/classes, whether online or offline, it’ll still be helpful since you’ll learn the basics to build a solid foundation for your career as a photographer.

Hi Zarina,

I have heard about DPS (Digital Photography School that is). I am happy to see that they also included a night photography course. What can I say I just love to take night photos, especially night cities is my favorite thing.

Just a question.

On the course page, those modules only cover night cities, but do they also cover night nature or maybe night portraits of people like under the street light?

Thanks so much for your kind words! Nikon D3400 is a great choice for beginner photographers, good for you! I am really glad you enjoying it and that I could actually help you make the right buying decision 🙂

Yeah, DPS is great in every sense, and I certainly think it’s the best bang for you buck! Lots of value for under $100 per course. You’ll see for yourself when you try it.

Now, to answer your question:

I have a fairly certain understanding of your situation based on your comment, so I’d say you should first go with the Photo Nuts and Bolts course.

You’ll learn all the must-know fundamentals of digital photography, like shutter speed, aperture, DOF and so forth.

In other words… This course will help you understand your Nikon better and therefore take better photos. (Then you can check out the Photo Nuts and Shots course, which I see as a follow-up course to the previous one.).
